‘We’re very devoted to our family and our lives. I love our life. I love that he’s the father of my children, and it’s because of him that there’s this whole other world that I love,’ said the mother-of-three, who became a household name playing relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw.

Explaining why the couple have never tried to tackle the nagging gossip about their romance, Parker said: ‘I never saw the trappings; nobody talked about being a celebrity. So when our marriage came up in conversation, it wouldn’t occur to us that we were obligated to respond to allegations or gossip.’

The couple, who share three children together, James Wilke, 10 and four-year-old twins Tabitha and Loretta, were targeted in 2008 after the actor was accused of having a fling with a 25-year-old youth worker.

But Parker says they are from the old school and only ever wanted to make a splash on stage and not in the magazines explaining themselves.

‘When [Matthew and I] were young people, all we ever wanted was to be good working actors,’ she added during a turn of posing for Harper’s Bazaar.

‘We didn’t think of fame or money because, honestly, money was never part of the dream. It was to work in theatre, to be around those people whose work I was in total awe of.’

As for her fashion queen status following hit show SATC, Parker says her style is always just thrown together.
